With the end of 2018 just around the corner, it’s time to start marking your calendars with dates of 2019’s public holidays in the UAE.

Exact dates of Islamic celebrations vary every year depending on moon sighting so the below dates aren’t necessarily 100 percent confirmed – but it’s a good indication of when we can expect major events to fall.

Ramadan is expected to start at the beginning of May, with Eid Al-Fitr expected on Tuesday June 4.

Meanwhile, the date for Eid Al-Adha could indicate a three-day celebration which is estimated to begin on Monday August 12.

That means Hijri New Year’s Day is likely to take place on Sunday September 1.

You can see the full list of anticipated UAE public holidays for 2019 below, with the caveat that dates are subject to change.
